ftm, congrats!! hope this time it works out!
i have 2 absences of about 8 and 10 month (half semester and full semester), so your experience will be important for me. I got tonns of docs about US residency - family, income, property, accounts, proof that i wasnt employed abroad (full time school+diploma), US taxes, credit cards etc. I know shouldn't have done that, but main reason to go back was to take care of my mom, so I will just have to face whatever are the consequences. I read all the eligibility rules before applying - and between 6 and 12 month - it's all up to officer. Good thing is they are now all in hurry, so won't go in much detail.
what are you planning to take to interview?
alect, if I was you and didn get IL till June 10, I would assume it is stuck in name check swamp and prepare WOM
----------------------------
i apologize, that i have this sort of stats/estimates blog inside of the thread, forum rules wont let me continuously just edit and add to one static post, and i dont like to attach any documents like other DO threads do.

hello peeps,
i've been reading posts here from time to time. and i just want to share my timeline. it looks like N400 processing is now faster -- probably because of the election coming up. i hope mine gets done before my mom's tourist visa stay expires so i can file for her AOS.
goodluck to all of us!

^You can try to get fingerprints done early. Just go into the office listed on your fingerprint letter and see if they can take you. Tell them you are not available on the date given so you came early. It is a hit or miss because they could send you away, but many of us have done it.
Either way it will only save you 2 weeks or so. Good luck!

Only recent applications are advancing faster . The bulk of applications from last summer are still experiencing long delays. The upcoming elections have nothing to do with speeding up the processing of recent applications.
ohh i thought it's because of that. Because my husband who filed last July 2007, got a noticed last month and just passed his interview last May 15, 2007. So he's just waiting for the oath taking later now.
oh well. i'm just happy it's moving faster.
I just went in on the Saturday at around noon before actual FP (which was following Wedesnday) and told them I can't make it for my original date and if they can accommodate me. They looked at my FP letter , crossed out original date and wrote new date and time (3:00pm) and told me to come back later that afternoon. In the mean time, I went to get lunch and came back and went through with walk in.
The rules for walk ins is different at every DO. Most DOs will allow it if you have a valid reason (like travel or previous business commitment). Saturdays and Wednesdays afternoon seem to be walk in FP days for most DOs.
in Sep 2007 i remember calling 800 number to ask if i need to reschedule before walkin for Removal of Conditions FP- and misinformation line told to just take FP letter and go any Wednesday, so I did and Faifrax/Pico office took me right in, didn't even say or ask anything, even if ther was big sign "BY APPOINTMENT ONLY" on the wall. If you leave nearby go anyday, just make sure you know working hours - the Fairfax closes i think at 4pm.
i want to save SoCalDude's oath story link, so it doesnt get buried under new threads: http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=279659

IL Received at Santa Ana DO
Please pardon the repeat posting (posted already in the Santa Ana thread) but I thought I would update all of you in the LA thread.
I received my interview letter today, May 24, 2008. It was kind of a nice touch for the long weekend.
The IL was dated and mailed on May 23, 2008 and seems to confirm that they send out ILs from the CSC around the 20th of the month. My interview will be in Santa Ana on July 15th. Time to interview from filing: 11 months.
Now I have to stop complaining here and start studying and getting ready for the interview. Of course I will post back here with my interview experience.
Santa Ana appears to be over the hump of summer filers, which is good news for applicants who applied after July 2007 and also good news for others in SoCal. The reason I say this is that I know for a fact that Santa Ana also processes applicants from the Los Angeles area. Now that they are over the hump, my gut feeling is that they will start to process some filers from LA, helping move things forward. If anybody from LA gets an IL for Santa Ana then my hunch will be confirmed.
Hang in there, everybody.

Hello everyone! I just did my oathtaking ceremony at the L.A. Convention Center on May 22. So here's my updated and final timeline:
Sent Application to CSC: 05/23/2007
Application received: 05/24/2007
Priority Date: 05/24/2007
Received Notice of Action: 06/08/2007
*Payment Check cleared*
FP Notice Received: 06/13/2007
FP Appointment Date: 07/06/2007
IL Received: 01/22/2008 (Notice date on I-797C: 01/17/2008)
Interview Date: 03/18/2008 -- 300 N. Los Angeles at 8:15am
Oath Letter Received: 04/21/2008
Oath Taking Appointment: 05/22/2008 -- *8:00a. -- L.A. Convention Center
*So it's one day short of one year since I submitted my application!*
My parents had their oath taking ceremony the same day. My mom had hers at 12pm while my dad had his on 3pm. I guess there were 6,000 oath takers for each batch. 12,000! Think!
It took me about an hour lining up outside, getting "processed" (showing our oath letter, giving up the Green Card), getting to my seat, and waiting for the couple thousand other oath takers to sit. The actual oath taking took 5 minutes and we watched a video for another 5 minutes. That was it. Then it took almost an hour to get out. Then you will line-up to get your Certificate of Naturalization.
I opted to get my passport at the same time too and it took 45 minutes for that (I brought my own pictures). Note: Pictures cost $15 in the Center. So that's pretty much it.
That's the end of my naturalization journey. Good luck to everyone! It DOES end! Good luck! Good luck! Thanks for all your help too~

Thanks, Vorpal. I absolutely am still going to contact the NYT reporter. Just let me know when you would like me to contact her so that we can make a concerted effort and try to tag team things.
While I am happy that I finally got my IL, that does not excuse the very long processing time for me to date, nor does it excuse the USCIS for the thousands of people who paid a 65% premium and still won't be able to vote.
Feliz - Santa Ana is well past the summer hump now. Another individual I know applied in early November (PD: 11/2/08) and got the IL the same day that I did, with an ID of 7/25/08 (10 days after mine). To me, this just confirms that after about mid-August, the USCIS got very few naturalization applications. I think Santa Ana will be done with interviews for 2007 filers by mid-late August. After that, I imagine that some of their processing capacity will go towards LA DO filers.

total 71 225 oaths complete from Feb-July (+ about 7000 rejected)
127 533 (pending Jan 31, 07) - 71 225 = 56 308 left on Aug 1.
if about 5000 -7 000 new cases were received total in 6 months Feb-July, 08
then they should be half way through the back log by August, that's about 60 000 - 65 000 left pending on Aug 1.
according to articles 32 officers in LA DO and 20 in Anaheim were assigned to process specifically N400. possibly more in Santa Ana and San Bernardino. at the standard rate 8 interviews per day that is
LA 32x 8 = 256 cases a day x 26 days (excluding Sundays) 6656 per month
Anaheim 20x8 = 160 x 26 = 4160 per month
about 4-6-10K/cases month speed in LA
if they hired the promised 100 new IOs and they start interviewing in Aug at speed of 25 interviews/day that is additional speed boost of + 2500/day x22 work days = 55 000/month in addition to usual 10K/month
such speed would take care of backlog in 1,5 month ideally, but suppose they do it in 3-4 month, so by Oct-Nov they should clear the backlog and have a shorter processing time for newer cases, like Gonzales promised in spring 2007 - total 5 month instead of 7.
----
seems like LA DO has 2 more offices for interviews but all applicants go to same LA DO Oath ceremony, so I count them as LA DO:

total 71 225 oaths complete from Feb-July (+ about 7000 rejected)
127 533 (pending Jan 31, 07) - 71 225 = 56 308 left on Aug 1.
if about 5000 -7 000 new cases were received total in 6 months Feb-July, 08
then they should be half way through the back log by August, that's about 60 000 - 65 000 left pending on Aug 1.
according to articles 32 officers in LA DO and 20 in Anaheim were assigned to process specifically N400. possibly more in Santa Ana and San Bernardino. at the standard rate 8 interviews per day that is
LA 32x 8 = 256 cases a day x 26 days (excluding Sundays) 6656 per month
Anaheim 20x8 = 160 x 26 = 4160 per month
about 4-6-10K/cases month speed in LA
if they hired the promised 100 new IOs and they start interviewing in Aug at speed of 25 interviews/day that is additional speed boost of + 2500/day x22 work days = 55 000/month in addition to usual 10K/month
such speed would take care of backlog in 1,5 month ideally, but suppose they do it in 3-4 month, so by Oct-Nov they should clear the backlog and have a shorter processing time for newer cases, like Gonzales promised in spring 2007 - total 5 month instead of 7.
----
seems like LA DO has 2 more offices for interviews but all applicants go to same LA DO Oath ceremony, so I count them as LA DO:

Thanks for the report back! You may never revisit the board again, but I have questions (anyone can answer if they know):
- What's the best place to sit in the convention center for access to the passport line?
- can you bring your own passport photos?
- How long does it take to get your passport once you apply there?
(They don't give it to you on the spot, do they?)
- Is it worth it to wait 45 minutes vs. going to a post office?
